Introduction
Fiberglass reinforced thermosetting plastic (“fiberglass”) first became a viable alternative to protected steel, stainless steel and exotic materials in 1948. That year centrifugal cast fiberglass piping was first used in the crude oil production industry as a solution to steel piping corrosion problems. It was during the 1960’s that manufacturers began to develop nationally recognized standards and test methods for fiberglass storage and fiberglass piping systems.
Nationally Recognized Standards and Specifications
There are a number of nationally recognized standards and specifications for fiberglass tanks and fiberglass piping. While there are standards developed for military applications,
e.g., MIL standards for helicopter rotor blades, following is a list of civilian organizations with published standards and specifications:
